Abstract

Friendship-related stress is an understudied factor that may explain variation in coping-motivated and socially-motivated drinking among emerging adults. This study examined chronic and episodic friendship stress as predictors of drinking levels and motivations among emerging adults transitioning to post-college life. College drinkers reported drinking motives and alcohol consumption daily for 30 days using an Internet-based diary in college and five years later ( N = 897, 54.2% women, Mage = 24.6 at follow-up, 86.0% White). Post-college, participants completed by phone the UCLA-Life Stress Interview assessing chronic and episodic friendship/social life stress. Chronic friendship/social life stress was positively correlated with mean levels of post-college drinking-to-cope motivation and was negatively related to post-college heavy drinking and social drinking motivation. Emerging adults experiencing friendship stress are more likely to use alcohol as a coping mechanism, elevating their risk for alcohol-related problems. Those with low friendship stress may require public health interventions around the risks of heavy drinking.
大学毕业后新成人中与友情相关的压力和酗酒问题
与友谊相关的压力是一个未被充分研究的因素,它可能解释了新成人中以应对为动机的饮酒和以社交为动机的饮酒之间的差异。本研究考察了慢性和偶发性友谊压力对大学毕业后新成人饮酒水平和动机的预测作用。大学生饮酒者在大学期间和五年后,通过网络日记报告了每天30天的饮酒动机和饮酒量(人数=897,54.2%为女性,随访时年龄=24.6,86.0%为白人)。大学毕业后,参与者通过电话完成了加州大学洛杉矶分校生活压力访谈(UCLA-Life Stress Interview),以评估慢性和偶发性友谊/社会生活压力。慢性友谊/社会生活压力与大学毕业后饮酒应付压力的平均水平呈正相关,与大学毕业后大量饮酒和社交饮酒压力呈负相关。面临友谊压力的新成人更有可能将酒精作为一种应对机制,从而增加了他们出现酒精相关问题的风险。友谊压力低的人可能需要围绕大量饮酒的风险进行公共卫生干预。
